In the interest of completeness, here's a list of thoughts on why a car
might lean to one side:
- worn out bushings
- weak spring
- spring packing piece (aluminum ring) on one side
- lower a-arms upside down on one side
- frame damage
In a few days I may be able to add "mismatched ball joint tapers," but I
don't know for sure yet.
Please add any other ideas!

Cregg,
No mention of the springs in the rear? Back to the four corners statement
that certainly has merit. You are supposed to tighten all those suspension
points with the car on the ground fully laden too. Honestly I have never
practiced that but the manuals are quite clear on that requirement.
